\"what<\/div>\n

yeah, don’t ask how i slept. i didn’t, really. annoying neighbours, hot room, late sunset. ugh. i can’t wait. only a week until the days start getting shorter! oh stop looking at me like that. if you had a west-facing window you’d say the same thing.
\ni want to have dave matthews’ babies.
\nand just to flesh things out a bit, this-or-that<\/a>:
\n1. Newspapers or magazines?<\/b>  neither, but if i had to choose, newspapers. magazines piss me off. $5-$8 for the priviledge of being your advertising victim? yeah, i don’t think so.
\n2. Books-on-tape or regular books?<\/b>  i think if i ever start going for long walks again, books on tape will be my salvation, but they will never replace real books.
\n3. Paperback or hardcover?<\/b>  in order of prestige: hardcover, trade paperback, pocketbook. i think i prefer trade paperbacks.
\n4. Fiction or non-fiction?<\/b>  fiction. it takes some really interesting non-fiction to capture me. although, i read a florence nightingale biography in grade school and i still remember parts of it (and wish i could find it again).
\n5. Sci-Fi\/Fantasy or romance novels?<\/b>  sci-fi\/fantasy, baby.
\n6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)?<\/b>  i mostly buy my books and then give them away to charitable organizations. i just hate the time restrictions on library books. i always feel too much pressure and end up losing some of the enjoyment of reading the book i withdrew.
\n7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand?<\/b>  neither. magazines are the devil.
\n8. Current best-sellers or classic literature?<\/b>  it’s all about the classics.
\n9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often?<\/b>  both. some books are a one-of, but there are a couple books i have that i’ve read multiple times. there’s one book in particular i read almost every year.
\n10. Here in the U.S., we have two hot best-sellers… former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s memoirs, and the new Harry Potter book (coming out June 21). If you had to read one, which one… Hillary or Harry? Why?<\/b>  harry, of course. i couldn’t give a rat’s ass about hillary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
